As recognized this area, azeotropic or Azeotrope-like mixtures are the mixtures of two or more different componentss, when be liquid form under setting pressure time, described mixture will seethe with excitement at the temperature of substantially constant, described temperature can be higher or lower than the independent boiling temperature of component, and will provide substantially and form identical vapor composition with the liquid of experience boiling.
For the object of this discussion, Azeotrope-like mixtures refers to the composition (i.e. boiling or when evaporation have azeotropic characteristic or without fractionation trend) of performance Azeotrope-like.The composition of the steam therefore, forming during boiling or evaporation is identical or basic identical with primary liquid composition.Therefore, during boiling or evaporation, change if some have occurred liquid composition, the variation that minimum degree maybe can be ignored degree also only occurs.This and non-Azeotrope-like compositions form contrast, and non-Azeotrope-like compositions is that the composition that significance degree changes has occurred liquid composition during boiling or evaporation.
In addition, Azeotrope-like compositions shows almost dew point pressure and the bubble point pressure without pressure reduction.That is to say, under fixed temperature, dew point is pressed and the difference of bubble point pressure is very little value.In the present invention, the difference that dew point is pressed and bubble point is pressed is less than or equal to 3% composition of (based on bubble point pressure) is considered to class azeotropic.
Therefore, the essential characteristic of azeotropic or Azeotrope-like compositions is: under setting pressure, the boiling point of liquid composition is fixed, and the vapor composition of boiling composition top is exactly the composition (, the fractionation of liquid composition component does not occur) of boiling liquid composition substantially.This area also recognizes, in the time making azeotropic or class azeotropic liquid composition experience boiling under different pressures, in Azeotrope compositions, the boiling point of every kind of component and weight percent all can change.Therefore, be characterised in that under specified pressure, have the azeotropic of fixing boiling point or Azeotrope-like compositions can by be present in unique relationship between each component or by the compositing range of these components or in by composition the accurate weight percentage of every kind of component recently define.This area is also recognized, can calculate various Azeotrope compositions (comprising its boiling point under concrete pressure) (referring to as W.Schotte " Ind.Eng.Chem.Process Des.Dev.
